Karachi: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Immigration has offloaded a female passenger who was begging during major operations at Karachi Airport, while a passenger who came from the UAE on a tampered passport was detained.

According to the FIA, in the first operation, a woman named Nasreen Chana, who was going to Malaysia, was offloaded. During immigration clearance, her name was deleted from the IBMS system.

The female passenger was deported for being involved in begging in Qatar.

According to the FIA, in the second operation, Muhammad Azam, who arrived from Abu Dhabi, was questioned. The passenger went to the UAE on a work visa from Sialkot Airport in 2024.
